Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, -4) and
(5, -6)?

Answer 1

(2, -4) and (5, -6)

m = y2 - y1 / x2 -x1

m = -6 + 4 / 5-2

m = -2 / 3

Explanation:

1. label the ordered pairs xs and ys

2. write down the slope formula

3. replace the xs and ys by their values

4. add and/or subtract

5. slope is -2/3

Answer 2

slope =
`(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

Slope =
`Slope = (y 2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

lets assume is assume that (x1,y1) are (2,-4)

and (x2,y2) are (5,-6)

Substitute them into the equation and you will get 2/3

Hope this helps
